Mangrove project in the Boeny region: saving an entire ecosystem
Green cover and safeguarding local wildlife!
Known for its practicality and multiple medicinal virtues, the mangrove in the Boeny region is of crucial importance to the local populations of the region.
It provides :
food
firewood
building materials
and acts as a natural treatment for those who need it
What about its ecological role?
From water filtration to carbon storage, mangroves help to cope with climate change and extreme natural events.
A contribution that lasts all year round because the mangrove is planted without too many seasonal requirements.
However, the poorly controlled exploitation of the mangrove deteriorates it considerably. In concrete terms, the overexploitation of this resource impacts the environment in both the short and long term.
Boeny, Madagascar
In Madagascar, mangroves protect marine areas against sedimentation from the western side of the island
They also ensure the protection of coastal wetlands from the adverse effects of climate change
It is thanks to these unique ecosystems that fish and invertebrates migrate to the reefs and the open sea to seek refuge for food and reproduction.
an entire ecosystem linked to mangroves
As asocial enterprise specialising in reforestation, Bôndy is helping to preserve this entire ecosystem through its project in the Boeny region of Mahajanga.
The fact is that it is essential to take into account the needs of local communities. All this while maximising environmental impacts.
And this is true of all Bôndy's projects.
TOGETHER, LET'S TURN THE RED ISLAND INTO A GREEN ISLAND!
